This looks like there are two separate problems. If you attempt to
install w3m-el again, do you get the same error? Did flim install
successfully? What about sharutils?
Also, could you check which version of install-info you have on your
system? Sample output:
e...@ubuntu:~$ type -all install-info
install-info is /usr/sbin/install-info
e...@ubuntu:~$ dpkg -S /usr/sbin/install-info
dpkg: /usr/sbin/install-info
e...@ubuntu:~$ install-info --version
Debian install-info version 1.14.20ubuntu1.
